This resource is a companion piece to my other resources on Crime extracts as part of the AQA syllabus and follows a similar pattern. It includes 8 brand new crime extracts from 8 different novels. The resource includes clean copies of the extracts for the students, which are available individually and then also in a scanned booklet which includes all 8 of them, which could be printed off, e-mailed or displayed on IWB. Furthermore, Teacher notes on all 8 extracts are also attached in this resource as individual word docs, and these have also been scanned into a teacher booklet which also has annotated copies of the 8 extracts and then teacher notes after each one, ie 25 pages in all, with a front sheet. Overall, then, this offers students a further 8 practice extracts to work on prior to the exam itself.

These resources are part of a package of resources that have one philosophy: to give you all you need to teach a text or a topic IN ONE PLACE. These resources include extensive presentation PowerPoints, lots of model answers, annotated answers, mock questions, extensive background research Powerpoints, and A3 helpsheets. They also ensure that Assessment Objectives and Mark Schemes are fully addressed.

This resource bundle seeks to offer all you need to start teaching the CRIME section of the AQA A Level specification. It includes lots of introductory Powerpoints and background on genre, plus lots of extracts to work through, with answers, plus tips to improve on the unseen examination. The Resource runs to nearly 40 documents, many of which are detailed and extensive.

AQA A Level Crime - Unseen Extracts - 26 documents in total ! Even More Unseen Crime Extracts to Analyse! This is the third in my series of Unseen Crime extracts, to support the Crime paper on the AQA A Level English Literature examination. They follow a similar format to the previous two. There are 10 extracts, covering a range of Crime sub genres: Golden Age/Hard Boiled/Psychological thriller/Historical Crime/Courtroom crime drama etc. Each extract is in word individually for students to work on, plus they are gathered together into a 22 page scanned student booklet. All ten extracts (with teacher notes for each one) are also individually available in Word and are also annotated and collected into a scanned 32 page teacher booklet, which also has a page of teacher notes at the back of each extract to help teach each one and to prompt discussion. I have also added some extra Unseen resources to enhance the package: Ways into Unseen Analysis Posters, a very detailed PowerPoint lesson looking at the Susan Hill Unseen example paper, a presentation on TYPES of Crime fiction, and a PowerPoint with ideas on how to approach the Unseen element. This package should provide some last minute practice before the exams.

I have been teaching for 20 years and I have been an examiner for 10 years, including some of these papers, so I have a lot of experience in terms of how to approach them. You might be using these as mocks, so might find this useful to feed back AFTER the students have attempted the exams. I have not included the inserts or exam papers due to copyright, but they are freely available on the AQA site. The Presentation is purely my ideas on how to answer these questions and general tips on how to deal with Summary of Differences, Comparison, Language etc as per the specification of the paper.
